Author : Neha A and Dr. Nischay N Gowda
Abstract
This research delves into the profound impact of Vaastu Shastra principles on main door design, aiming to illuminate the intricate relationship between traditional architectural guidelines and the overall harmony and well-being of a household. Recognizing the critical influence of main entrances as the primary gateway to homes, this study seeks to deepen our understanding of how the application of Vaastu principles can enhance positive energy flow and create a balanced living environment. The primary objective is to dissect the diverse components that contribute to a Vaastu-compliant main door design. The research explores the significance of directional orientation, material selection, and decorative elements in fostering an auspicious and welcoming entrance. Furthermore, it examines the role of symmetry, proportion, and symbolic motifs in aligning the main door with Vaastu tenets. The study also investigates the psychological and emotional effects of these design elements on the inhabitants, aiming to establish a holistic framework for integrating Vaastu principles into contemporary architectural practices. The outcomes of this research are anticipated to offer architects, interior designers, and homeowners a comprehensive understanding of the nuanced interplay between traditional wisdom and modern design. Ultimately, this study aspires to contribute to the ongoing discourse on the transformative potential of Vaastu Shastra in creating harmonious living spaces.
